• Decrease in prostate size or arrest of further growth
• Increase in peak flow rate
• Improvement in obstruction
• Prevention of long-term outcomes/complications
• Acceptable adverse events profile

How does the process work?
Bladder collects urine
The sphincter - a
circular muscle at
the level of the
prostate controls
the flow of urine
The sphincter muscle
wraps around the
urethra
A healthy sphincter stays closed until one relaxes it
to urinate

Am I the only one
with incontinence?

2 million men in the world suffer
from loss of urinary control
Rate of incontinence ranges between 1-31% after
